The unions met with mediation agency, ACAS and National Express yesterday to try and resolve the issues and avoid further strikes.
A spokesman from Aslef said: 'We have had a full day of talks with ACAS and we will be continuing those tomorrow. 'That is all I can say at this point.'
A spokesman from National Express added: 'We have had a full day of talks and all parties have agreed those are set to continue.'
